HB 75 was recently signed into law in Florida making removal of a court ordered electronic monitoring device a third-degree felony in the State. GPS Monitoring devices have long since been used to track domestic violence offenders out on probation. The tracking provides peace of mind for victims and their families, but until recently offenders could remove the devices with little repercussion until a judge signed a new order. Now judges have the ability to enforce their original orders. Law enforcement can immediately act if alerted to a suspect’s tampering or removal of the device. The new law hopes to protect victims and the public-at-large.
